  • Política De Servicios Aéreos Sociales Introducción El Transporte Aéreo Se
    Política de servicios aéreos sociales Introducción El transporte aéreo se ha convertido en la manera más eficiente para comunicar lugares, que difícilmente pueden conectarse con otro modo de transporte o en los que la distancia supone un limitante para comunicarse con otras zonas. Sin embargo, este tipo de destinos son poco atractivos para las aerolíneas privadas que por lo generar buscan mercados grandes que les aseguren las mejores rentabilidades. Basada en este tipo de elección, la probabilidad de que estos recorridos sean atendidos por alguna compañía es muy baja, lo cual ha llevado a diferentes gobiernos a intervenir buscando incentivar a las aerolíneas a que sirvan estas rutas. Uno de los factores más importantes para el crecimiento del transporte aéreo a nivel mundial ha sido la liberalización y apertura de los diferentes mercados, que generó un aumento significativo de la competencia, disminuyendo las tarifas y aumentando la cantidad de rutas. Entre estas se incluyen aquellas rutas dirigidas a zonas a las que las aerolíneas inicialmente volaban con apoyos estatales, los cuales se han venido disminuyendo o han desaparecido gracias al desarrollo de las regiones, llevando a crear una demanda a la cual las compañías aéreas buscan atender. En Estados Unidos la liberalización del mercado del transporte aéreo les dio la libertad a las aerolíneas de escoger que rutas atender, cambiando el antiguo modelo en el cual para poder servir rutas con un gran volumen de pasajeros debían operar también otras rutas menos provechosas, aun si tenían poco flujo de pasajeros. Lo anterior provocó preocupación porque las poblaciones que no fueran atractivas para las compañías perderían el servicio de transporte aéreo que las comunicaba con otras regiones.

    1 PAPEL DE LAS LIBERTADES DEL AIRE DENTRO DE LAS ALIANZAS AÉREAS. Lina María Sabogal García *1 RESUMEN. El presente artículo tiene por objeto analizar el papel de las libertades del aire (reglas que regulan el flujo de aeronaves entre Estados) dentro de la negociación de los acuerdos de colaboración o alianzas entre aerolíneas que, conforme a la evidencia, fomentan la libre competencia, benefician al consumidor y constituyen una importante herramienta para la competitividad de los países. El artículo realiza un análisis de la revisión de diversos artículos de investigación sobre el desarrollo del mercado aéreo y su evolución en el tiempo (focalizado a colombia), utilizando componentes cualitativo y cuantitativo para demostrar cómo es necesario implementar más libertades del aire dentro de los acuerdos internacionales entre Estados siempre que exista una efectiva protección a la libre competencia en el respectivo país, ya que estas contribuyen no solo al beneficio de las aerolíneas sino también reducen costos para los pasajeros e incrementan el tamaño del mercado. Palabras clave: libertades del aire, alianzas aéreas, libre competencia. 1 Abogada Javeriana, candidata a magister en derecho económico. 2 ABSTRACT. The purpose of this article is to analyze the role of the freedoms of the air, (rules that regulate the flow of aircraft between States) in the negotiation of collaboration agreements or alliances between airlines that, according to the evidence, encourage free competition, they benefit the consumer and constitute an important tool

  • 1. the Agricultural Sector Is of the Utmost Importance to the Economy Because of Its Contribution to the GDP, Employment and Exports
    Colombia WT/TPR/S/172 Page 87 IV. TRADE POLICY BY SECTOR (1) OVERVIEW 1. The agricultural sector is of the utmost importance to the economy because of its contribution to the GDP, employment and exports. The key activities in terms of generating value-added are animal breeding and animal products, the production of coffee, tropical fruit and flowers. In 2006, tariff protection in the agricultural and fisheries sector (11.9 per cent), defined according to the ISIC, was just below that in the manufacturing sector (12.1 per cent). Colombia abolished non-automatic licensing under the regime established to absorb national agricultural production on 1 January 2004. For those products subject to tariff quotas, allocated under a public bidding system, import quotas are distributed among importers which agree to buy the largest volume of domestic production for each specified volume of the quota. Non-automatic import licences apply to imports of chicken cuts. There are also a number of special support programmes in the agricultural sector, for example, fiscal rebates and preferential lending rates. During the period under review, guaranteed prices applied to certain products (mainly cereals). 2. The mining and hydrocarbons sectors generate large amounts of export earnings (principally through the sale of coal and crude petroleum). Both sectors are open to private investment and foreign investors receive national treatment. In practice, the State-owned company ECOPETROL plays a leading role in the extraction, refining, import, distribution and transport of petroleum and its by-products. The fuel subsidies granted continue to impose a heavy fiscal burden and distort the allocation of resources.
